Health - 3 September 2006

I got a burn about the size of a biscuit (only rectangular) on the side of my calf from a motorcycle exhaust pipe. It has been seven days and still really hurts. It did not blister, but the skin took this long to fall all the way off. It is now raw skin, that is super sensitive and throbs when I walk the stairs, get up in the morning, etc.

I have been cleaning it with soap once a day, as well as dressing it twice a day with clean, large bandages, Neosporin, and peroxide.

Any other suggestions as to how to heal this?

Is this too many days for a burn (should it be further in the healing process by now)?

Thanks so much.

I have been on birth control almost two months now. I must admit I was late during the day on taking my birthcontrol and had already had sex, but I did. What could be causing this?

Can men get it other ways than sexual contact? Can they get it from a pool?

Every time I wake up from sleeping my hands are numb sometimes up to my elbow. my hands are so numb they feel very hard and i cannot move them. it hurts to try to move them to try and get feeling back. after i do get feeling back they are usually tingly and hurt very bad for quite some time. i tried Icy Hot for a couple of days. It helped for a little bit during the day, but it is still there. It is worse at night than any other time. Please help I would really like some sort of answer here rather going to the doc.

I've become obsessed with dying. I am not sick, that I know of but the thought of dying is crippling me and I cannot stop obsessing about it.

Has anyone else had this and if so, how were you able to get over it? I really need your help, serious answers only please.

Hey guys. I'm prescribed to taking 50 mg of Zoloft every 24 hours in the morning. I usually took at at 7:00 am every day. The thing is, I missed the time to take it and took it asap at 1:00 pm. But now I want to go back to taking it at 7:00 am. If I took a pill at 1:00 pm today, is it okay if I take it when I wake up at 7:00 am tomorrow? It would be 18 hours instead of 24. Thank you in advance!

My elbow is under some bad pain. There is a tingling, painful, "pins-and-needles" sensation spreading into my forearm. The arm also feels quite weak and not very stable. Any ideas on what it might be? Thanks.

I've been a light user of pain killers for the past 18 months; light meaning I take one, maybe two pills a week. Now, I’ve tried to stop and the withdrawals are really intense after 2 weeks. Can anyone offer advise on how to kick the habit completely? Also, any help on reducing the withdrawal symptoms?

does it backfire, and do you find that people begin to undermine your opinion or alleged experiences - stating that you are just thinking wrong and they 'didn't really happen that way?

In other words, now that they understand you are ill,' have you completely lost any hope of 'credibility' with people? Has this ever happend to you, because of stigma, misundertandings, etc?

Does anyone know if an excessive amount of clear egg white discharge is an early sign of pregnancy? I've had this for like 5 days now. Plus, when I looked down at my stomach today, it looked deformed! I had a buldge about half the size of my fist on the lower left part of my abdomen. This only lasted for a few minutes and the buldge went away. What was that?? I have no other pregnancy symptoms except I have been pretty tired these past few days.

Is it possible that by labling a child one of the three that it makes it easier for the child to release responcibility for their actions... and by drugging the child.... further complicates the situation because the child is told that they cannot "fix" themselves without the aid of drugs.... hmmmmmmm....
